About Kristin
Kristin Kenny is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping adults and adolescents manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood challenges. Her style aims to make sessions straightforward and understandable for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Kristin sees therapy as a process of self-exploration. She uses a person-centered stance that treats the client as the expert on their life.
Background and approach
That means listening closely, asking clear questions, and helping people notice patterns that keep them stuck. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people challenge unhelpful thoughts and build practical coping skills. Dialectical behavior ideas and mindfulness strategies are added when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are priorities.
Existential concerns - meaning, choice, loss, and identity - are addressed in ways that connect with daily life rather than remaining abstract. Kristin has worked with people from many cultural backgrounds and with a range of concerns including relationship stress, grief, parenting strain, addiction, eating and body image issues, and attention differences.
Her aim is for clients to leave sessions with clearer options, new skills to try, and a different view of problems that felt overwhelming. She invites people to start where they are and to move at a pace that feels manageable. Kristin frames the work as a collaboration and focuses on concrete steps that help with everyday functioning and long-term change.

Online support
Approaches and remote care that fit your life
Kristin commonly blends existential conversation with cognitive behavioral methods. Existential therapy helps people talk about meaning, choice, loss, and identity in everyday terms so life decisions feel clearer. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. That approach helps when patterns around trust, closeness, and boundaries make daily life harder. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process; Kristin works with each person to decide what matches their goals and preferences and adjusts methods over time.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier during brief breaks, and messaging or live chat can be useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical skills and meaningful reflection.
